9:05Now PlayingMSNBC has become a tool of the establishment wing of the Democratic Party. Their disdain for Bernie Sanders has been on full display for months, but once Bernie started winning the primary, they absolutely lost their minds. MSNBC hosts have been twisting themselves into knots trying to claim that Bernie’s victories are meaningless, and that he’s not the frontrunner in spite of all the data saying the opposite. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains why they are freaking out.

Earlier this week, the New Republic put out an article that was simply title, titled Bernie Sanders has an MSNBC problem, and then after this article was published, Bernie Sanders' MSNBC problem only seemed to get worse. Last night on Hardball with Chris Matthews on MSNBC, Chris Matthews put up this graphic right here. I mean, you see those numbers? Oh my God. If you were to combine all of the other people running, then they got more votes than Bernie, so obviously, Bernie's, yeah, whatever. He's a loser. He won, but he's somehow a loser because if you added up all of the scores, I guess from all of the other losers, then Bernie Sanders would lose somehow. But I know Chris Matthews is an older fella. I know this isn't his first election. He knows that that's not how it works. You don't get to add up all of the vote tallies from all of the losing candidates and then say, well, these numbers are, of course they're going to be more. I mean, Bernie Sanders got 26% in New Hampshire.
That means 74% of people didn't vote for him. 74 is bigger than the 26 but that's not how that works because that 74 was split amongst a bunch of different candidates and watered down to the fact that Bernie Sanders ended up winning with his 26% and I wish it ended with Chris Matthews, but nope. Yesterday again, after this article was published, you had Chuck Todd over at MSNBC arguing with a guest who said that Bernie Sanders is the front runner and Chuck Todd said, is he the front runner? I mean, look at the turnout in New Hampshire and it was a little bit lower than it was in 2016 and then if you take the combined, he's doing the same thing. MSNBC is twisting itself into knots trying to convince themselves and their viewers what few are left that Bernie Sanders is somehow not the front runner. That Bernie Sanders victories are somehow insignificant or that somehow his victories are actually losses.
MSNBC is absolutely a horrid corporate owned propaganda network. That's it. That's the line. That's all you need to know. And again, I wish it stopped there, but we have seen and it's been getting worse over the weeks, MSNBC trot out these people, Jim Messina from Obama's campaign, James Carville. All of these people saying that Bernie Sanders is absolutely going to destroy the Democratic party. James Carville this past weekend actually predicted that Bernie Sanders was going to bring about the apocalypse within the Democratic party. He said, quote, the only thing between the United States and the abyss is the Democratic party. That is if we go the way of the British labor party, if we nominate Jeremy Corbyn, it's going to be the end of days. So if we nominate Bernie Sanders and he becomes president, it means the apocalypse for the United States because it will destroy the Democratic party. And the Democratic party is the only thing saving the United States according to Mr. Carville. And then everybody dies, I guess. That's what happens if Bernie Sanders becomes president, according to these crazy people.
